  • We had a vigorous primary, many interesting candidates in '19-20 (Bernie leading easily until SC, Warren backstab, pandemic). Before Super Tuesday, Democrat primary voters were told to unite around Biden, and they did. So that was… weird, but maybe I can blame pandemic.

    Biden’s been more progressive than I would’ve imagined, and is surrounded by decent people, so I’m not concerned about his ancient brain quite yet. The other option is… religious fascism, destruction of govt, civil war, T**** family dictatorship, etc. Let’s go Brandon, I guess.



  • I don’t mean to give all credit to Tesla, for the success of BYD. But let’s not pretend that many Chinese companies haven’t earned the reputation for (or even specialized in) “quickly learning” and “producing similar work” from competitors. Tesla still entered the country enthusiastically (sold hard-fought knowledge for short term gain), and are already losing their grip. Best of luck to anyone creating affordable EVs.
